It had to remain a secret. I caught the train to Haarlem very early in the morning. There, our chairman and founder of the Kidshare Foundation, Hans van Driel, was to receive a royal honour. Mayor Jos Wienen praised Hans’s dedication and enthusiasm, which have made it possible for Kidshare to build 66 schools in several African countries.
What a celebration it was! Last month, we opened a new preschool with Kidshare in the far north of Uganda. A very poor area where children have no chance without good education. The parents had built a mud hut there. There, the children were taught on the ground in the dusty sand.
I realized this again recently when a cheerful message arrived on my smartphone. It was a photo. In the photo on the right, you see a preschool we opened in February of this year in a remote village in Tanzania.
We built 10 preschools and equipped a primary school with water and shower facilities. 28 bright girls who would otherwise never have been able to afford their school and university education have graduated. We are very happy about this!
